Well, I done died one time And I ain't gonna die no more Well, I done died one time And I ain't gonna die no more Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah I done died one time And I ain't gonna die no more And the time that the Lord, with the disciples, set down and talked with them at the table. They were eating their last Pa**over together with one another. Said, "Out of you twelve, gonna be one that betray me." They were all sitting down there, enjoying themselves... That broke up their appetite because they didn't know who it was, you know. They begin to talk one to another. Wanted to know who it was. Some got so worried about the thing, said "let's ask him". One of them said "you ask him, maybe he'll tell you". They were all troubled, you know. A great table before them and they couldn't eat. Their appetite was gone. So, after a while, one went to him and asked him. I hear one of 'em asked him something like this, you know. "Who is it"? He said, "The one you see me give something out of the dish, that'll be the one that betray me." So they watched, to see who it was. While they were watching, it give them a better appetite to eat, you know. Tell me my Lord spoken these words like this. Let me see what my Lord said: It'd been good if that man had not been born It'd been good if that man had not been born Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah It'd been good if that man had not been born So he said to his disciples, "In a while, I'll be with you. In a while, I'll be gone." While he's settin' there talking, Peter began to understand this conversation, you know. He broke down and commenced to crying. I heard him say to him: I will follow you, Lord, wheresoever you go I will follow you, Lord, wheresoever you go Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah Lord, I'll follow you wheresoever you go I heard my Lord say: I'm going where you cannot go, oooh I'm going where you cannot go Oh, glory, oh, glory, hallelujah Oh, Peter, I'm going where you cannot go
Peter made up his mind and he decided to go, anyhow. My Lord said, "Before the co*k crows thrice, you will deny me." Said, "No, Lord, I'll prove to you that I'm a man... I'll fight for you. I will die for you". So he knowed that Peter didn't understand. Tell me that they brought them all the way to Jerusalem to try him. They were standing around the fire, warming, waiting for the courtroom to open. When the courtroom open, tell me they got my Lord in your guard. Set him down. Put him on the front row. And they tell me he was seeking for witnesses: There was not a man to be found There was not a man to be found Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah Oh, there was not a man to be found And they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed And they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah Well, they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on his head Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on his head Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on my Lord's head And they put him down and chosen him a tomb Hey, put him down and chosen him a tomb Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah Oh, they put my Lord down and chosen him a tomb Just before they got ready to put him down, he's sitting out there before Pilate. And they tell me, Pilate's wife said to him, "If you have anything to do with that man, I'm going to leave you." So, natural that a man don't want his wife to leave him. He didn't want to be guilty of an innocent man. I heard him calling: Bring me a basin of water to wash my hands Bring me a basin of water to wash my hands Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah Oh, bring me a basin of water to wash my hands And I don't want to be guilty of a innocent man Don't want to be guilty of a innocent man Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah Oh, don't want to be guilty of a innocent man Talk to me, then...
